November marches on, and as promised, Obverse Books is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Faction Paradox with sales on selected items.
The discounts take effect on different titles each weekend this month.
On 24th November 1997, the Doctor Who Eighth Doctor novel, Alien Bodies, written by Lawrence Miles, was released, and was the first full-length work to feature the voodoo, bone-mask-wearing cultists, Faction Paradox. Since then, the Faction have appeared in numerous mediums. This weekend only (11th- 12th November 2017), the first two Faction Paradox books from Obverse are reduced in price in both paperback and ebook formats!
These are:

In a ship that size of a galaxy, stretching across time from Bridge to tail, Robert Scarratt hunts the Leviathan, while all around him strategms and schemes unfold…
They’ll each cost £10.95 (instead of £19.95) in paperback or just £4.99 (instead of £6.99) as an ebook. But be quick: these discounts only last two days!
And don’t forget the first 100 copies of the latest Faction Paradox novel, Spinning Jenny by Dale Smith, come with a numbered commemorative 20th Anniversary stamp.
You can find the entire Faction Paradox range of novels and short stories over at Obverse Books.
